And so it ends. Eight years ago I made the first AFR comic. I had no idea then how long it would go on. I certainly never imagined getting 340 comics out of it. Back when I started, there were only a couple other WoW-themed comics on the web. Now there are dozens of fabulous comics for you to enjoy. I am happy to leave the field to so many people who are cleverer, funnier, and much better artists than I am.

It’s been a lot of fun, and the best part of all has been you, the readers. Whether you’ve been following AFR for years or just stumbled on it today, whether you’ve contributed to the comments or just been a reader, you are what has made these 340 comics worthwhile. Thank you all.

AFR may be ending, but I’ll still be around. You can follow my non-WoW comics over at Tabula Candida, and I’ll have a new creative venture to announce very soon.

I have said before that as long as I have jokes to tell, I’ll keep making AFR. I have now run out of jokes, and so AFR is coming to an end. I have one last story to tell, and I’m going to take my time telling it, so it’ll be a few months yet before the very last comic appears, but we’re on our way.

It’s been a amazing experience making AFR. I never ever expected it to go on this long or to get such an enthusiastic response from so many people. I’m going to miss all of you, but it’s time for me to move on with my life and work on other things.
